Buying insurance doesn't have to be hard. I can show you the way.

Better Together

Today we reached a milestone for our company and at the same time we contributed something useful to the world of home buying and home insurance. Today we launched our first API integration with a mortgage technology company and it was not only our first integration, it was the first integration of its kind between the home mortgage and home insurance industries. It will help lenders, borrowers, and insurance carriers alike by streamlining home insurance into the increasingly digital mortgage business. It’s something that lenders have wanted for a long time but was never possible until we came along.

Technically, API integration is quite simple, almost trivial. For technology companies, API integration is expected. You’re not a tech company if you don’t API. But in the mortgage and insurance industries, API integrations are rare. Mortgage and insurance companies are not only decades behind with their technology but layers of regulations, consumer protections, and market forces made any business case for integration between mortgage and home insurance seem untenable.

That’s where we came in. The combination of our technology and business model makes it not only possible to integrate home mortgage with home insurance but profitable for us to do so, and in a way that adds value for everyone in the ecosystem. Lenders get a way to help their clients with hazard insurance that is compliant with lending rules and streamlines their closings. Homebuyers get a way to privately shop and compare the market without any effort. Insurance carriers and their agents get access to desirable customers without any up-front lead fees.

Today we reached a milestone for our company and did something useful for the 5M people who buy homes each year, their lenders, and their insurers. We won’t reach them all right away but we took the first step. That feels good.
